Lumos Players presents The Revolutionists

"Sometimes a Revolution needs a woman's touch!" Synopsis: Four beautiful, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen and fan of ribbons Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. This grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy, art and theater, feminism and activism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually go about changing the world. It’s a true story. Or total fiction. Or a play about a play. Or a raucous resurrection…that ends in a song and a scaffold." - Dramatists Play Services "Gunderson's script doesn't just skew reality by taking liberties with history, but also by playing with the conventions of storytelling, including several winks to theatre fans. Olympe and all the other characters, and actors, and you, are writing themselves into history through their actions, for good or ill."- River Cities Readers OLYMPE DE GOUGES: Jacqlyn Schott MARIANNE ANGELLE: Anecia Johnson CHARLOTTE CORDAY: Christine Gallagher MARIE ANTOINETTE: Emma McGee Director - Ashley Herbert Producer - Corey Nieman Production Asst. - Amy Haake - Rowland Stage Manager - Nicole Haake Asst.
